The Happiness Gap in US Inflation Data
Lucas and Luna explore why consumer sentiment remains stubbornly low despite solid economic indicators like a core CPI of 337.8 and a PCE price index of 130.7. They examine Goldman Sachs' theory that lower happiness is driving this disconnect, asking whether the Fed's inflation targets are missing the real pain point: household stress. With oil prices adding $1,700 per household to costs, they discuss if monetary policy can fix what feels like a broken trust between data and daily life.
